‘We will win the old men in the system hands down’ – Shatta Wale hints at becoming a president

Dancehall musician, Shatta Wale, has voiced his presidential aspirations, noting that the moment for him to step into leadership is nearing.

Emphasizing the need for a team of knowledgeable individuals focusing on development to support him, he expressed confidence in his ability to navigate the country's systems.

“We will win those old men in the system hands down and I will find learned people around me with developmental mindset. I will only be the president and they will steer the affairs," he asserted in a viral interview.

Highlighting his substantial fanbase across Africa as evidence of his influence, Shatta emphasized that Ghana requires a leader like himself for positive change.

“Ghana needs a president like me. I am very confident and I know how to run a fan base. That is why my fanbase is the largest in Africa. Forget everything else anyone is saying, my dream is to change Ghana,” he stated.

Shatta attributed his father's encouragement as a driving force behind his political aspirations, underscoring the importance of nationwide support for his endeavor.

“My dad has been telling me that I should venture into politics, He wants me to go into politics because he knows I could do it.

“If you guys can support me to start getting the music, to go up the political ladder, I will stop the music and focus on studying. In the next four years, I will be able to contest and see if I won’t win hands down. In the next four years, I’ll be over 40 years so I’ll qualify,” he added.

Shatta also envisages himself as a proactive president and not just focusing on what he described as spewing ' big grammar'.

“Politics is not about coming to speak big grammar; Ghana is not a big grammar country. I just need good heads to control the system,” he retorted.
